Q&A | Kevin Rudd - I was wrong to shelve the ETS | Monday, 4 April, ABC1

Julie Bishop then: "It's okay not to support your climate change policy because the Greens didn't either!"

Julie Bishop now: "It's okay not to support your (near identical) climate change policy because the Greens support it!"

I hope he does get the leadership again he will do a better job and re shuffle the cabinet again and then hopefully he will scrap the carbon tax and re introduce the ETS

as it was better than the a carbon tax why should we have a carbon tax when the government can shut down power stations that are not good for the environment and get our fuel companies to convert petrol to ethanol and diesel to bio diesel and have more electric cars in australia thanks

How about starting to acknowlege and respect and appreciate the countries of the world instead of turning your back against them and talking out of your backsides. You owe everything to those countries. I cannot stand dickheads with fake smiles and fake tears. Wake up to reality, sad people.

[sasho888prm]

When you cook a meal for your loved ones day after day, it means you truly love them. When you buy them Macdonalds, what do you say??? You owe me 19.95 bitch. And that's coming out of YOUR paycheck!!! I guess that is the definition of love in cultureless Australia.

[sasho888prm]

It's unnerving how ridiculous you guys are. You can't cook, you can't love, you don't understand culture let alone try and practise it. Fair go??? What fair go is there when everyone runs around like a scared little kid afraid to state their own personal opinion!!! Why is this the most depressing and suicidal country in the world? Answer that!

[sasho888prm]

@2009gibsor Take Putin as an example!!! Not Dorothy the dinosaur. Putin runs his country, you just follow rules you scared muppet!!!

[sasho888prm]

@2009Gibsor, haha typical aussie answer, without any explanation... Whatever MATE!!! You do understand that I want nothing to do with you.. But i still call you mate????? Have another pizza you idiot and pray to God that your kids don't grow up in Australia

[kyeYuri]

WOW, a politician admitting they were at fault. That deserves acknowledgement

[MRMILO57]

When the surgeons open up Rudd on the table, they see he has no heart...

Maybe they should pull that knife out of his back as well, you'll soon know what it feels like Gillard!

[sasho888prm]

"No, we're not Americans, we're not Brits and we're not Europeans. We are Australians." What an ignorant idiot. YOU ARE BRITS THROUGH AND THROUGH!!! You are just a retarded and ignorant version of the English living in denial. We are talking about blood, and not ideals you dumb ass. You are not man enough to face the truth, and that's why a woman is running this fake country. Face up to reality loser.

[2009gibsor]

@sasho888prm your retarded, enough said

[therealshlong]

The Global tax fraud! Using the environment for control and money, perfectly legal because those writing the law are the owners of the carbon trading companies! While using the solar activity as a perfect alibi! Labours sitting there thinking, WOW this will be a nice little retirement package if we get this through for them! Yes, I bet they promised you and Julia a very nice little after party package didnt they! Just like the unions at home but much much bigger right! Frign makes me sick!

[jak11122]

Kevin who? Surprised your not crying still...

[MsTsarbomba]

Vote Kevin Dudd for more social degradation,high unemployment and debt,more HIV hep and other disease infected 3rd world settlers arriving here to receive social welfare and get medical priority and Government housing before all other Australians(as is happening),a divide and conquer multicultural policy of importing 3rd world misfitts into Australia over other people from skilled and compatible cultures who could live in Australia,and a 3rd world Australian way of life! Hes just Communist scum

[KiwiKid2007]

I'm a Kiwi, so not that it matters to me, but still .... bring back Rudd!!!! I mean, my god, absolutely everything that back-stabber Gillard touches turns to crap anyway!

[skel1701]

Compared to the rest of the world Australia produces very little in the way of carbon emitions but we want to be world leaders in setting a price on carbon? Why? So we can have the warm and fuzzies about it? Or is it an excuse for the Australian Government to hit tax payers up for even more money? I'm not a suporter of any party but if they want to impress me with reducing our carbon foot print then stop flying all over the world for nothing more than an overseas holiday at tax payers expense.

[gingyluv]

@skel1701

not being a supporter of any party is kinda like an excuse to have "warm and fuzzies" for what you believe in but not with the pressure of actually voting for it? I fully get that every politician ultimately flies more than an eco-conscious Aussie would want, but seriously if Kevin 07 wasn't on that flight you think it would have stopped? Sorry but sick of big media environmental issues that tug on heartstrings. They confuse the real BS with the supposed BS.

[tubester4567]

@skel1701 Australia is not world leaders in a carbon price. Germany and most of the European Union have it and even China has implemented it. Its coming to the world its just a matter of when. We can benefit from the "new technology" and green economy that is coming to the world.

[toddskisyd]

i hope he gets leadership again ,im a labour voter through and through but julia is useless

[bigswano]

@toddskisyd every time rudd speaks he damages labor

he should kindly fuck off

pussy didnt cause a double dissolution when he couldve and wouldve won it

[burnspics2]

This is the man we voted for! I would vote for him again, if I had known we would get Gillard I would have left Johny in,

[Wallabytrack]

Good Job Kevin! well handled. You do Australia proud! Like to see you back at the Helm!

[gladear]

I feel that a catalyst for major changes in the landscape of Australian federal politics has been activated...interesting times ahead folks ;)
